Further thoughts on the Dove thing

I had originally planned this blog to be merely about tech, then it turned to tech and personal stuff, which then shifted to announcements for the goings-on at Kikay, Ballex, MomEx, MovieEx and PCEx. But now I realized, I don't have a blog of my own now do I? And if anything, the one thing [...]

Yet Another Photoshop Contest

Ladies and gents, here's the winner of the Bestweekever.tv Matthew Mcconaughey Photoshop contest, where an image of him working out at the beach was mangled enhanced, for our viewing pleasure (certainly not his viewing pleasure I'm sure). Actually, I was voting for this:

Why Are There No Sports Blogs?

I'm being honest when I say that the reason I am not a professional blogger is that I've tried, but everyone has either rejected me, denied me, put me on a waiting list or flat out just not responded to my email requests. Of course it's a reflection on my writing, which I've never been [...]

Thoughts about ‘Survey: Majority of Blogs are Personal’

Duh. Obviously focused on American bloggers, but it's safe to assume many of the details, like the reason why people blog, are the same worldwide. On a similar article titled "Report exposes real deal about bloggers", it says that "While 74 percent of Internet users are white, only 60 percent of bloggers are white.", and [...]

Akismet API Key FAQ needs rewrite

I'd been getting spam lately on my blogs, so I decided to give Akismet, the built-in WordPress anti-spam plugin, a try (usually i use the excellent Bot-check, a 100% effective solution for this blog, but I wanted to try something new). Akismet activation however will be confusing for non-wordpress.com users (read: people who run wordpress [...]

Local blogger cited. Doesn’t like it.

In the I-like-my-blog-readership-just-the-way-it-is-thank-you-very-much department, here's some interesting local blogger news. PDI showbiz columnist Dolly Ann Carvajal recently mentioned a row between local showbiz hottie Alicia Mayer and the bouncer of a bar in Makati, article here. A local blogger happened to have observed the incident, and blogged about it at length. Someone then informed Ms. [...]

Google Calendar Rocks. Hard.

I've always been a big fan of calendars. Especially the ones with scantily clad young women peddling cheap liquor, usually found in vulcanizing shops or car garages. Ok, that's not the point of this post. Focus now. FOCUS. Google Calendar recently launched the ability to display itself on any website. This means you can create [...]

Aklatangpambata.org Gets On PCIJ

Aklatangpambata.org is one of the NGOs that took advantage of my Free Website for NGOs offer (which I've yet to make a page on this blog for to explain what it's all about. AArrrghh). Anyway, I made them a simple WordPress blog and apparently it's served them very well. The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism [...]
